The Board may having regard to the need to ensure that the terms of the contract of insurance covered by such policy form are fair and equitable, direct amendments to any policy form furnished to the Board under subsection (1), and it shall be the duty of the insurer furnishing such forms to give effect to such amendments.

(3)
